Chelsea’s director of global recruitment, Sam Jewell, has emerged as a top target for Everton, but the Blues are unwilling to let him go. Jewell, who joined Chelsea from Brighton & Hove Albion, has made a name for himself as one of the best talent spotters in the Premier League.
Everton, who are preparing to move to a new stadium, are keen to appoint Jewell as part of their backroom staff. However, Chelsea are determined to keep him, and have no intention of allowing him to leave Stamford Bridge.
Jewell’s reputation as a top talent spotter has also caught the attention of several European giants, including Atletico Madrid and AC Milan. However, Chelsea are adamant that he will not be leaving the club.
“Sam Jewell is regarded as one of the best in his role in England, and that has caught the attention of some huge clubs,” said Graeme Bailey, TBR Football’s chief correspondent. “However, Chelsea would not currently consider allowing Jewell to leave Stamford Bridge.”
Jewell’s career in football directorship and scouting began at Newport County, before he spent 18 months as Swindon Town’s chief scout. He then joined Brighton & Hove Albion as recruitment manager for the Under-21s, before being promoted to emerging talent manager and then head of recruitment.
Jewell’s expertise in the South American market has been particularly valuable to Chelsea, and he has played a key role in the club’s recruitment of top talent from the region. His knowledge and experience have made him a highly sought-after figure in the football world, but Chelsea are determined to keep him at the club.
As Everton continue to rebuild and prepare for their move to a new stadium, they will have to look elsewhere for a top talent spotter. Chelsea’s refusal to let Jewell go is a testament to his value to the club, and a clear indication that they are determined to keep him at Stamford Bridge.
